Blog

I am Debbie McGregor, owner and founder of Total Body Concept. I started the skincare clinic and day spa back in 1993. Welcome to my blog about fostering a holistic, more positive outlook on life. I have just started on my new life's mission to become a motivational speaker, and this blog will follow this journey. Enjoy!

This is a place where I would like to share my knowledge on everything from skincare and inner health to holistic living and the importance of meditation, creative visualisation and affirmations. Nothing in life is by chance – and in this blog I’ll tell you why. Come and join me as we learn to Live the Balance.

The best facial for long-haul flights

Get a facial before you fly: Getting a facial like the intensive hydrating peel-off mask, will help your skin to stay hydrated and plump throughout the flight.

The mask draws hyaluronic acid into the skin, giving your complexion an extra boost right before you travel. During the facial, you skin will be cleansed, exfoliated, and massaged, before a hyaluronic acid serum is applied as well as a rubberised intensive hydrating peel-off mask for 10-15 minutes.

During the time it’s on, hyaluronic acid is drawn from the mask into the skin using osmosis. As a powerful and hydrating ingredient, using hyaluronic acid is one of the best ways to ensure your skin stays plump, even throughout your long haul flight, and with ability to draw up to 1000x its weight in water into your skin, there’s no better facial than this one.

Be sure to book in for a facial as close to your departure as possible, and ask us about our other recommendations for keeping your skin looking tip top throughout your travels!
